What is a good tabletop system for mecha stuff? Something standalone

>>50629871
I've heard Mekton Zeta, Jovian Chronicles and Battle Century G recommended.

Mekton Z, & Silhouette.

As always, it depends on what kind of mecha you want. Pacific Rim is very different from NGE which is very different from Gundam.

For post-apoc or low tech:
Remnants

For crunchy real robo:
Jovian Chronicles or Heavy Gear

For all out war minis:
Battletech tabletop

Occasionally I put work into something I've titled Walking Thunder. It's a dicepool system where the mech's stat on a given roll is the number of dice you roll, while the pilot's stat is the target number for your roll. I feel like it's a neat way to emphasize the need for both a good mech and a skilled pilot.

Pic related: Column at left is mech stats, top row is pilot stats. wherever they meet is the action that uses those two stats.
